Architecture is the most complete art form. It is the craft of drawing meaningful lines that, once transformed into walls and openings, reveal the architect’s joys, passions, and intentions. It is more than just building structures; it is about creating meaningful places that resonate with life, culture, and nature. We believe that spaces should not only be functional but should evoke emotion, provoke thought, and enhance the well-being of those who inhabit them. Our work challenges the orthodox and infuses design with joy, flair, and a deep understanding of the psychology of space.

建筑是最完整的艺术形式。它是一门描绘隽永线条的技艺，这些线条一旦转化为墙面和开口，便会展现建筑师的喜悦、激情和意图。它不仅仅是建造结构，更是创造与生活、文化和自然产生共鸣的有意义的场所。我们相信，空间不仅应具备功能性，更应能够唤起情感、引发思考，并提升居住者的幸福感。我们的工作挑战传统，将愉悦、才华和对空间心理学的深刻理解融入设计之中。

This philosophy takes shape in this project: the Veterinary Hospital in Tirana. Passion, enthusiasm, and vision have been transformed into a physical space. The hospital’s soft, flowing exterior contrasts with the structured logic of the plan, creating a sense of wonder and harmony. What begins as simple, static geometry—rooted in spatial psychology and anthropological principles—unfolds into a dynamic network of curves that turn this space into a true place, full of movement and life. The fluid forms eliminate any atavistic fears of enclosure, creating an open and freeing environment.

这一理念在地拉那兽医医院项目中得以体现。激情、热情和愿景被转化为实体空间。医院柔和流畅的外观与规划的结构逻辑形成鲜明对比，营造出一种奇妙和谐的感觉。最初简单的静态几何——植根于空间心理学和人类学原理——逐渐演变成动态的曲线网络，将这个空间转化为一个充满动感和活力的场所。流畅的形态消除了任何对封闭的固有恐惧，营造出一个开放而自由的环境。

The architecture does not impose itself on nature but rather rises from it in fluid, sculptural gestures. The curved structures create waves in the landscape, defying immediate understanding, as if they are living sculptures. The hospital itself remains almost hidden, unrecognisable as a medical facility —what one encounters is not just a building but an entirely different world. It is a space designed to be joyous, intriguing, and above all, conceived for the benefit of sick animals—a remarkable purpose.

建筑并非强加于自然，而是以流畅的雕塑姿态从自然中升起。弯曲的结构在景观中形成波浪，令人难以直接理解，仿佛它们是活生生的雕塑。医院本身几乎隐藏起来，难以辨认出它是一家医疗机构——人们所接触的不仅仅是一座建筑，而是一个完全不同的世界。这是一个充满欢乐、引人入胜的空间，最重要的是，它是为了造福病畜而设计的——这是一个非凡的理念。

The contrast between soft, organic forms and the raw strength of brutalist concrete adds both practicality and aesthetic depth. The terraces and gardens are not merely decorative; they serve as therapeutic spaces for the ‘patients,’ offering them light, air, and connection to nature. Inside, the hospital is carefully planned to accommodate the psychological needs of its occupants. Just as in human healthcare, spatial psychology plays a critical role—ensuring that different species, especially natural adversaries, feel secure and at ease. The organisation of spaces for cats and dogs follows the same principles as those for humans: comfort, separation where necessary, and a thoughtful approach to coexistence.

柔和的有机形态与粗犷混凝土的原始力量形成鲜明对比，既增添了实用性，也增添了美学深度。露台和花园不仅仅是装饰性的，它们也是“病员”的治疗空间，为他们提供阳光、空气和与自然的联系。医院内部经过精心规划，以满足居住者的心理需求。正如人类医疗保健一样，空间心理学发挥着至关重要的作用——确保不同物种，尤其是天敌，感到安全和安心。猫狗空间的组织遵循与人类相同的原则：舒适、必要时的隔离以及深思熟虑的共存方式。

This project is part of a broader movement, a renaissance of intelligent and beautiful institutions in Albania. As the country opens itself to the world, it must navigate between rigid, dogma-driven architecture and a more humanistic, nature-centred approach. Too often, modern architecture seeks to dominate its environment rather than harmonize with it, forgetting that nature is not separate from life—it is life itself.

该项目是阿尔巴尼亚一场更广泛运动的一部分，是一场智慧与美丽的机构的复兴。随着阿尔巴尼亚向世界开放，它必须在僵化、教条主义的建筑和更人性化、以自然为中心的建筑之间找到平衡。现代建筑常常试图主宰环境，而不是与环境和谐相处，忘记了自然并非与生命分离——它本身就是生命。

Now is the time to plant the seeds of quality architecture that respects Albania’s rich climate, traditions, and history. The Veterinary Hospital is one such seed, representing a shift from static, commemorative spaces to dynamic, immersive places that invite life to flourish. It stands as a tribute to passionate craftsmanship, visionary clients, and a shared desire to create something that is both functional and extraordinary. It is architecture that challenges conventions, but more importantly, it is architecture that serves, heals, and inspires.

现在是时候播下尊重阿尔巴尼亚丰富气候、传统和历史的优质建筑的种子了。兽医院就是这样一颗种子，它代表着从静态的、纪念性的空间到充满活力、沉浸式的场所的转变，让生命蓬勃发展。它致敬了充满激情的工艺、富有远见的客户，以及共同的愿望：创造兼具实用性和非凡性的建筑。它不仅挑战传统，更重要的是，它服务于人、疗愈于世、启迪于人。
